Comments on: VIA CN #66 is Turbo equipped today. 1977: 335 miles, two scheduled stops, 4 hours 10 minutes downtown to downtown: average speed 80.3 m.p.h. ( anyone have a timetable that shows a faster schedule ? ). 35 years after: will Turbo – Via CN #66 & #67 – ever be matched? Exceeded? By 1980: Turbo was slowed to 4 hours 30 minutes with three scheduled stops. By 1982: Turbo gone. Turbo jets through Scarborough Junction on a 1977 summer day. [ What's interesting: 1) that 80+ m.p.h. average speed is (primarily) on jointed rail ! ] [ 2) ONCE, just once - due to freight derailment - on a Sunday evening, witnessed Turbo at CP Leaside on the Belleville sub ! (pix anyone?) ] Kodachrome by S.Danko. More Turbo: approach Scarborough Jct near Guildwood at Cherry Street TTR tower sdfourty. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

Had I been older, you can bet I'd have rode my bike to Scarborough Jct. as often as I could. Quite a show back then and I think this would qualify as the best of the bunch!
